Nancy Pelosi couldn’t stand up to Ilhan Omar. Could Fox News? Jeanine Pirro has the answer.

Pirro got in hot water for this opening statement on her Fox News show last Saturday:

Judge Jeanine is completely on the mark to point out the irony of an Islamist accusing Jews of conflicting loyalties when sharia is, as she says, “antithetical to the United States Constitution.” Pandering to Muslims is doing to the Democrat Party what it has done to Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party — aligning it with anti-Semitism.

Televised truth telling regarding Islam hasn’t happened very often since September 11, 2001. The reaction was swift and harsh:

In a rare rebuke of a high-profile host, Fox News on Sunday night came out strongly against the comments made a day earlier by host Jeanine Pirro about Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar,” the network said in a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter. “They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”

Congratulations, Fox News. As a Muslim Woman of Color from Somalia, Ilhan Omar is the personification of our incoming ruling class — and you have earned a pat on the head from her:

“Thank you, @FoxNews,” Omar tweeted to her more than 720,000 followers. “No one’s commitment to our constitution should be questioned because of their faith or country of birth.”

To get an idea of how absurd this is, imagine a Nazi from Germany saying that during WWII. Islam is not just a “faith.” It is a political ideology that explicitly demands the coercive subjugation of those who won’t submit to it. The history of Western Civilization for the last 1,400 years is largely a story of staving off Islamic conquest, with limited success.

Ilhan Omar and the pernicious people who support her are increasingly calling the shots, and not only in the profoundly corrupted Democratic Party. Jews aren’t the only ones who need to be alarmed.
